Laravel Nova Detached Actions Tool
==================================

[](#laravel-nova-detached-actions-tool)

A Laravel Nova tool to allow for placing actions in the Nova toolbar, detached from the checkbox selection mechanism.

⚠️ Keep in mind, since the action is detached from the row selection checkboxes in the resource table, you will not have a collection of models to iterate over. Detached actions are intended to be independent of the selection in the table.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package in to a Laravel app that uses [Nova](https://nova.laravel.com) via composer:

```
composer require digital-creative/nova-detached-actions
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create a custom Nova Action file:

```
php artisan nova:action ExportUsers
```

Instead of extending the `ExportUsers` class with the `Laravel\Nova\Actions\Action` class, swap it with the `DigitalCreative\DetachedActions\DetachedAction` class.

Since we won't receive a collection of `$models`, you can remove the variable from the `handle` method, so that the signature is `public function handle(ActionFields $fields)`.

You can also customize the button label, by overriding the `label()` method. If you do not override the label, it will 'humanize' the class name, in the example `ExportUsers` would become `Export Users`.

Here's a full example:
